This is a sweetish healthy side dish, or vegan main dish. Perfect for Thanksgiving. I use a packaged mix of the 3 grains but I suppose you can use what ever grains you like. I am going to try this with brown rice.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong spices.
